Year-round Deer Hair Caddis

A slight variation of a standard Elk Hair or Deer Hair Caddis, this pattern from Poul Jorgensen’s “Dry Flies for the New Millennium” has a dubbed head instead of a clipped hair head. Still a simple tie, but can be effective on any water where caddis flies hatch.

Materials list:
Hook: #12-20 dry fly
Thread: Tan
Rib: Light ginger dry fly hackle
Body: Rabbit fur dubbing, color to match any caddis
Wing: Natural deer hair
